About the story
You play as Mineko, a curious girl who has just arrived at her new home on a struggling superstitious Japanese-inspired island at the base of Mount Fugu. The locals on the island worship the Sun Cat, Abe. What was always thought to be a long-told myth has the town puzzled, as sightings of Abe have begun to surface among the residents of the island in recent days. Discover the secrets behind the town while managing your daily activities, completing various jobs, ven-turing on whimsical quests, and crafting peculiar items in preparation for the weekly Night Market!

ByFeaturing cute drawn graphics and a prohibitive level of cuteness, Mineko's Night Market suffers from monotonous tasks, a lack of depth in the characters and an overpowering routine.

By David RaderEvery game has its negatives and none of the negatives mentioned in this review should keep you from trying this game out. It’s an absolute delight and a ton of fun to be had. If you’re like me and stuck in your gaming ways, step out of your comfort zone a little and fire this game up. You won’t be disappointed, especially since the game is on Game Pass.

By Giulia ArcoraciA title with remarkable artistic direction, elegant, pleasant and capable of immersing us in Japanese culture. Unfortunately, the uncertainties of the gameplay lead the title toward the risk of being repetitive and, for some elements, unintuitive.
